Is "imaginary friend "any special meaning?
I got it in a novel, and a boy said to a girl that they are only imaginary friends, so they can not become lovers. Is" imaginary friend" a slang or a idiom? Or only a special meaning used in this novel? PS: "imaginary friend" is from Sundays at Tiffany's.

It usually means a friend that a child has created in his mind. The child will pretend that the imaginary friend is there - set up play things for it, and talk to it as if it is a real person.
It is possible that "imaginary friend" could be used to mean, "not real friends" referring to a real person, but I that would be a very rare usage.

An imaginary friend is a friend in your imagination. Many children have these.

i think imaginary friends is a phrase that concerns persons with some sort of psychic issues such as extreme lonliness or whatever types of proplems mostely seen with kids.
